When it comes to the cute and adorable Cavapoo, the dog you get is going to vary a ton depending on what generation you get. These changes can include coat type, if they are nonshedding or hypoallergenic, and maybe most importantly their health and genetic makeup. All of that is important to note when picking out your own Cavapoo to add to your family, which is why today we’re going through the Cavapoo generations step by step to help you make the best choice for you.

A Quick Overview

F1 Cavapoo
The F1, as the first cross, is a 50/50 split between the poodle and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and because of this is one of the most common options that breeders will carry, since they are the literal first result. In spite of this, the F1 doesn’t have the best genes, at least in terms of predictability.

F1B Cavapoo
The F1B is about 75% poodle and 25% Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, meaning that it's more likely that the poodle traits start showing over the latter. If you are in the market for an “allergyfriendly” Cavapoo, this is most likely what you’ll be getting, since this variation holds some of the most poodle characteristics on this list.

F1BB Cavapoo
This results in a Cavapoo that is 87.5% poodle and only 12.5% spaniel, which only enhances the poodle traits that started taking over in the F1B generation. This means almost daily grooming and brushing for your Cavapoo, as that coat is going to be very curly and not shed one bit. Expect to get the clippers out yourself or send them to a professional every 6 to 12 weeks with an F1BB Cavapoo, but on the flip side if you’re a fan of the poodle’s genetics than this might be a great option for you.

F2 Cavapoo
The F2 resets the poodle’s reign as the dominant trait on our list, as crossing two F1 Cavapoos to create an F2 will still leave the balance at 50/50 even. We’re not going to talk a lot about this option today, since most breeders stay away from them for a variety of reasons. For one, they still aren’t very predictable in determining what kind of coat they have, as well as if they are going to shed or not.

F2B Cavapoo
If you back cross an F2 Cavapoo with a purebred poodle you’re going to get a dog that is about 62.5% poodle, but if you cross two F1B Cavapoo’s you’re going to end up with a dog that is about 75% poodle, so that is more likely to be done when you get an F2B from a breeder. This dog has substantial poodle genes, and is a third generation Cavapoo. It’s going to have a wavy or curly coat, and be pretty likely to have nonshedding qualities too.

F2BB Cavapoo
The F2BB is the result of back crossing the F2B with another purebred poodle, which makes it about 81.25% poodle to 18.75% Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This dog is going to have the most nonshedding and hypoallergenic traits of the versions on this list, and so is the top pick for people with allergies. Since it is all but guaranteed that the F2BB will have curly hair, you will have to get the ol’ clippers out to avoid matting and discomfort in your Cavapoo, but this is a small price to pay for a dog that isn’t going to have you sneezing or worse!

F3 Cavapoo
This variation can vary from wavy to super curly, and inherits a lot of the poodle genetics that we have been talking about throughout the list. Since most breeders will just use the blanket term of multigen, you can always be upfront and ask them outright what this pup’s official signifier is, and they’ll tell you. This is useful since it's still important to roughly know what your dog is made up of, and can be helpful down the line.
